Thanksgiving

The many things I have to be thankful for... one is a wonderful day with Ryan's family and delicious food. We had a great meal and stayed at Kyle and Amanda's until much later than I expected because the kids were having so much fun playing. Thanks Amanda for being such a gracious hostess! We went to church this morning at 9:30 - I always enjoy the Thanksgiving service because of the great music. After church, we came home, let Sadie nap for 45 min. while I cooked the oyster casserole (yes Amy- it WAS good even if you don't believe it!!!!), and then headed out to K & A's around noon with the casserole and my infamous jello salad in hand. We stayed until the Packers beat the Lions and headed home close to 5:00. A friend of Ryan's (Matt VanLiere) and his girlfriend had just had a baby, so we went and saw the baby. Now we are back home and Sadie is already in bed for the night. She hit the hay around 6:30. Nice!

Congratulations to Carmen and Mike!!! Carmen called tonight and said she is pregnant- due June 5th! YAY! For those of you who don't know, Carmen is my dearest childhood friend and lives in Charlotte, NC. She has already had 2 ultrasounds and the tech told her she was 70% sure it is a boy! I am so happy for you Carmen!!!!! You'll be an excellent mother and Mike will be such a great dad.

Tomorrow is the first Black Friday in years that I won't be shopping. I look forward to staying home in my jammies and having a lazy day. I may decorate some for Christmas, and I may not- depends on how bored I get. Brooks is already asking for Braelyn to come over and play, so we may be calling you Amanda. :-) Lynette- Landon and Bailey are welcome as well if you are stuck home again with Elliot. The more the merrier! I really don't need any deals this year- most of my shopping is done. The few things I need aren't on sale to my knowledge. So, there you have it- I've almost convinced myself that I won't miss shopping!!!

As you can see- no pictures from today. I FORGOT the camera that Lynette is letting me borrow. I was so mad- I remembered it after walking into Amanda's. Oh well-maybe I'll mess with it tomorrow.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

e is doing much better already, but I may still give ya a call... Matt's working all day so I'll be bored. I have only one store to go to, I DO NOT shop on Black Friday! DO NOT I tell ya! I too can't believe that oyster casserole is all that great, but i can't say that i've ever tried one either, it just doesn't appeal to me!
